CL55 night licence - post-season reflections

[Ned_1]

Having recently applied to renew my CL55 night licence I wondered how others had fared after the first season? The obligations to report outings etc aren't too onerous, so I'm reasonably happy to have been granted one. For me, I have one parcel of land on a permission where a night licence is especially useful and since there is a rather active resident at the foot of the field, I am happy to be fully above board .

Is it time to renew? I wondered if I’d get an email not sure I’ve seen one

You have to re-register before 31 July. Here's the link: Your details - Re-register for deer night shooting licence CL55 - GOV.UK You will need your DNSL registration number contained in the email you received when it was granted.

Actually quite pleased it was as easy as other ,previous, similar systems.
If systems are hard,users won't use them.

All sounds like too much ball ache for little gain to me!

yes but it gives you the oppurtunity to go on a course

My boss who owns my fallow ground won’t allow it, personally I agree with him

Not a dig at either of you in the slightest, but I would be interested to know what in particular sets you against it.

ive no strong feelings either way on the night licence , but as regards courses the vast majority of recreational stalkers are cert collectors who actually shoot very few deer , if they put half the effort into culling deer as they do collecting bits of paper the deer problem would be sorted

That's just Lee's default setting

Shooting them in the dark or at night, although within the last hour will be almost dark, I can confidently shoot with my Schmidt bender 10 minutes before last night so I can’t see the point!

He wants the deer managed not murdered simple as that

 

[Ned_1]

If you hold a DSC2 then there is no need to go on a course.

 

[Ned_1]

That’s your choice. I’m just clarifying matters.

 

[Ned_1]

So you object to shooting deer at night on principle? If so, fair enough. For me, I have a parcel of land on one of my permissions where I would struggle to manage the fallow without night shooting. There’s too little cover and too many people to stalk them effectively during the day.
